About me

Nice to meet you! I’m a PhD student in Computer Science and Engineering at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), supervised by Prof. Raymond Chi-Wing WONG. I obtained a BSc degree in Data Science and Technology (DSCT) at HKUST in 2024.

My research focuses on data mining and machine learning, with an emphasis on session-based recommendation. I am also interested in how large language models can advance recommendation systems.
